Nozzle 24 is disposed at the front end of thegun body 20 to dispense fluent coating material (hereinafter sometimes paint) from a front end opening 26. Anair cap 28 is attached to the front end of thegun body 20 by aretaining ring 30. Theair cap 28 has a central atomizingair orifice 32 and a plurality of atomizingair orifices 34 surrounding thecentral orifice 32. These orifices communicate with agallery 36 which is coupled to a supply of compressed air.Shaping air orifices 38 are provided onair horns 40 which extend forward from diametrically opposite sides of theair cap 28. The shapingair orifices 38 communicate with a shapingair supply gallery 42 which is also coupled to a supply of compressed air.Shaping air orifices 38 provide air for shaping a spray pattern of paint flowing from thenozzle 24 and atomized by air from atomizingair orifices - The
spray gun 18 includes a valve including avalve body 44 having a somewhat frustoconically shapedfront end 46 which cooperates with a complementarily configuredvalve seat 48 formed by an inner wall of a front portion of thenozzle 24. A needle-like electrode 50 projects forward fromvalve body 44 and is coupled via its rearward extension throughvalve body 44 to a terminal of a high-magnitudepotential supply 52 by which the particles of coating material become electrically charged as they leave the vicinity ofnozzle 24.Spray gun body 20,nozzle 24,air cap 28, andvalve body 44 illustratively are constructed from, for example, suitably chemically inert, electrically non-conductive resins or polymers, such as Delrin® or Acetron® brand acetal resin or polyetheretherketone. Electrode 50 illustratively is constructed from metal. - A shaping
air control valve 60 is oriented rearwardly from the shapingair supply gallery 42 in apassageway 62 through which shaping air is supplied togallery 42. Valve 60 includes astem 64 having a generally part-spherically shapedtip 66.Stem 64 is threaded into a valve stem retaining nut orvalve body 68 and captured invalve body 68 by an e-ring 70 which is snapped into agroove 72 provided therefor onstem 64.Valve body 68 is also threaded on its outside surface so that the assembled shapingair control valve 60 can be threaded into a passageway provided inspray gun 18 for this purpose, and includes diametricallyopposed flats 73 to assist in threadingcontrol valve 60 intospray gun 18. Appropriate O-ring seals 75 are provided betweenvalve stem 64 andvalve body 68 to seal the these two against leakage, and betweenvalve 60 andspray gun body 20 to seal thevalve 60 into thebody 20. - The part-spherical shape of the

The axis about which stem 64 is turned as it is threaded into and out ofvalve body 68 includes the center of the circular cross section region ofpassageway 62 in the vicinity oftip 66. This geometry permits thevalve 60 to substantially completely shut off the flow of shaping air throughpassageway 62 toorifices 38 whentip 66 is projected completely intopassageway 62. -
Valve body 68 is provided with one or more, illustratively two, diametrically opposed, radially extendingbores 74. Each bore 74 provides aseat 76 at its radially inner endadjacent stem 64.Seats 76 provide positive stops for an equal number, illustratively two, ofdetent balls 80. Each ball is spring 82-urged against itsseat 76.Valve stem 64 includes a number, illustratively eight, of peripherally equally angularly spaced axially extending grooves ornotches 84 into which spring 82-urgedballs 80 snap when stem 64 is turned so that one of the grooves ornotches 84 is under eachball 80.Stem 64 further includes acontrol knob 86 at its outer end.Control knob 86 is scalloped 88, knurled or otherwise textured to assist the operator ingripping control knob 86, for example, between a thumb and index finger, to adjustvalve 60. - The operator receives the sensation of the
detent balls 80 snapping into their respective grooves ornotches 84 by feeling and/or hearing theballs 80 snap into their respective grooves ornotches 84. The operator may thus count the number of “clicks” from the orientation of thevalve 60 in which no fan air is being provided to some number of clicks corresponding to the desired fan shape or pattern of the cloud of atomized coating material particles. Once this number of clicks has been sensed, the operator stops turningknob 86, and a coating operation can commence. - The source of compressed gas or mixture of gases is provided to a passageway controlled by a trigger 90-operated
valve 92 forward inspray gun 18 togallery 36 and either throughvalve 92 or independently topassageway 62. Either way,passageway 62 is controlled byseparate valve 60.Valve 60 is controlled by the position ofknob 86.Valve 60 controls the flow of shaping air to shapingair orifices 38 onhorns 40 ofair cap 28.

Thevalve body 68 includes (a) spring 82-loaded ball(s) or the like, 80, which is (are) yieldably urged into a notch, groove, or the like, 84 beneath the ball(s) 80. There is thus provided an indexing fanair adjustment valve 60 that provides an indication to the operator of the adjustment of thevalve 60. The operator can use the indication to adjust thevalve 60 to provide the desired fan air flow rate. The operator establishes a desired flow rate once, and adjusts thevalve 60 closed, counting the number of clicks until thevalve 60 closes. The operator is then able to duplicate this adjustment by opening thevalve 60 the same number of clicks in the same or any subsequent coating operation in which it is desired to provide the same spray pattern for the dispensed coating. - Illustratively, stem 64 is constructed from suitably chemically inert, electrically non-conductive resin or polymer, such as Torlon® 4203 polyamide-imide. Illustratively, valve stem retaining nut or
valve body 68 and thespring 82 retaining plugs are constructed from aluminum or suitably chemically inert, electrically non-insulative resins or polymers, such as 30% carbon fiber filled Torlon® 7130 polyamide-imide.Detent balls 80 and springs 82 are illustratively stainless steel.
